Should investors bet?
Increase in FII stake means that foreign investors have increased confidence in a company’s business, earnings and future growth, hence they are investing more money in it. This is generally considered a positive signal, as it gives hope for stability in the stock, better liquidity and value creation in the long term.
However, investors should not make decisions based only on FII purchases. According to experts, the right strategy is to look at the company’s fundamentals, earnings growth, debt position and sector trends together and only then take the decision to invest or hold.
